Synopsis

Shuji is an uncompromising young filmmaker at odds with Japanese society. One day he learns that his loan shark brother, who had helped to finance his films, has been executed by his own yakuza gang for failing to repay his debts. The responsibility now falls on Shuji.

Our take

Yakuza and cinephiles clash in unexpected ways in Iranian director Amir Naderi’s edgy homage to Japanese films. Visiting the graves of Japanese masters Ozu, Mizoguchi, and Kurosawa, Cut offers an brilliantly offbeat exploration of one man’s obsessive relationship with the cinema.
